Hamburger Cupcakes #cupcakes #Yum

Are you looking for the perfect ending to your BBQ party? How about hamburger cupcakes? These sliders were a hit with everyone.

I started out baking white cupcakes and slicing them in half cross way like a bun.

Then I added yellow squiggles with a #3 tip to look like mustard. I made sure I had some hanging off the edge.

Then I did the same thing with red icing to look like ketchup.

For the hamburger layer I baked a square cake and used a round biscuit cutter to cut patties.

I wanted my cheese to look real and melted. I decided to make some fondant, but I left it a little sticky to give it that melted look. I rolled it out and just cut it into squares. When I placed the "cheese" on the cupcake I stretched some of them to look a little different.

I made the lettuce by coloring coconut green. I put some green icing on the cheese to hold the coconut then sprinkled the coconut on top.

A hamburger bun isn't complete unless you have sesame seeds on it. I brushed the top of the cupcake with a little water and sprinkled sesame seeds on top.

Lastly I added a toothpick and squeezed a dalop of icing on the end to look like a party pick.
